New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help repair damaged brain circuits. The research explains how transplanted cells ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe impairments in brain cell regeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor functions, and even repairing blood vessels. The breakthrough not only ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Getting older brings many changes, but not all are welcome. Over time, your body naturally loses muscle and bone mass. This leads to weakness, frailty, and a higher risk of falls. Your brain also ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
